Educating people
against fake news.
1. Don’t get all your information on social media. Check trusted
news websites or government websites- We should determine
first all the information's that contains in a websites.
2. Social media and second-hand messages are not fool-proof
ways of getting informed. It is best to get your information
directly from an authority or expert on the issue, or from the
reports from a reputable news outlet.
3. Look for organizations that are trusted leaders in the topic
that you are looking for information on. –Don’t be aggressive if
there is organization’s that will invite you ,check first their
background and also their social medias account.
-For example, if you have questions about a
domestic worker contract, go to your agency, the
Hong Kong Labour Department or to the relevant
Consulate. These are the experts and authorities
on this topic.
4. Keep yourself well-informed by making sure that the things you are
reading online are helping you get to the right information. If you are
not sure about something that you’ve read, cross-check it with other
sources. Don’t share information that you haven’t checked first.
5. Can you perform reverse searches for sources and images? By
checking cited sources, you can confirm that the information has been
accurately applied and not altered to meet the author’s point of view.
The same goes for images. In an era of Photoshop magic, you can’t
always believe what you see.
6.Don’t fall victim to the temptation to spread fake
news. Sharing these fake stories only serves to feed
the beast as malicious actors are encouraged to
continue such practices when thousands of people
share these articles.
7. When evaluating news articles—particularly from
unfamiliar news sources—it is advisable to take some
steps to ensure that what you are consuming is
reliable and trustworthy.
Get your news from a variety of sources.
• “If you read something and if your reaction is any sort of extreme
emotion, outrage or unmitigated joy, that’s a clear indicator that you
should definitely read more deeply,” says Ruston. “Many of the
disinformation examples we’ve come across in our research are
designed not to inform but rather to activate a strong anger or fear
response.” People should check with additional news sources to
confirm information they feel strongly about.
When you see your friends and family share
misinformation, correct them.
• “Always be kind when helping people identify misinformation.

Don't insult people's intelligence," says Roschke. “Don't repeat
lies, because when you emphasize the thing that they got
wrong, they're actually cognitively more likely to remember the
thing they got wrong. You want to provide them with new
information that comes from a source as reputable as
possible.”
• As students progress in their education and begin their
professional careers, they need to be able to distinguish
bogus news stories from true, fact-checked journalism. These
tips help teach students how to identify fake news to ensure
the news they read and view is verified and accurate. Being
able to spot misinformation disguised as legitimate news will
enable students to combat the widespread distribution of
harmful, misleading, and false information.
It’s easy to see why fake news is a problem, but it’s
harder to identify it and prevent it from spreading. Many
social media users, including journalists and politicians,
are aware of problems regarding fake news, yet they
unknowingly give it credence by sharing misleading,
incorrect, and downright fabricated “news” on
Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms.
• This form of fake news is usually intended to achieve
a political goal, such as discrediting a certain
candidate or legislator or to weaken support for a
particular side of a contentious issue. Alternatively,
creators of fake news may spread misinformation to
foment unrest and divisiveness among people, or
simply to be malicious. SO STOP SPREADING FAKE
NEWS!!!!!
